IDF Soldier Killed by Sniper Fire from Gaza, Israel Retaliates
(Ha'aretz) Bar Peleg - Staff Sgt. Aviv Levi, 20, was killed by a sniper on the Gaza border on Friday, the first active duty soldier to be killed on the Gaza front since the 2014 war. The IDF carried out extensive attacks on Hamas targets in Gaza in response, killing four Palestinians including three members of Hamas. Three rockets were fired at Israel during the escalation, two of which were intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome anti-rocket defense system. The IDF said its tanks had hit 68 Hamas targets in retaliation and had "eliminated about 60 buildings and infrastructures and revoked significant military and command and control capabilities."
